Police on Friday retrieved 28 human bones, including a broken skull, from the debris of Rana Plaza at Savar, reports UNB. Locals, former workers of the garment factories housed in Rana Plaza recovered the human remains and informed the police. However, after receiving the human bones, officer-in-charge of Savar Model Police Station, Mostafa Kamal, told reporters that ‘some miscreants’ have staged the bone recovery drama to embarrass the government. Sources among locals and former workers of Rana Plaza confirmed UNB that they have no doubt the bones recovered today (Friday) as well as in earlier days were human bones, and that the some of the recoveries also included a human skull. Later, the former workers organised a procession in Savar bus stand area chanting slogans against the OC. They demanded government steps to recover the bones of workers that have been left unnoticed in the debris of Rana Plaza.
After receiving another consignment of human bones, including a human skull, on December 31 last, Mostafa Kamal told reporters the bones that are being recovered are in fact ‘cow bones’. Among the previous attempts for the recovery of human bones from the Rana Plaza collapse site, locals recovered about 100 bone pieces, including a skull and a jaw, from eight points on the collapse spot in presence of a UNB staff writer on December 28.
